Have You Tried?

"I'd rather be a failure than the man who's never tried;
I'd rather seek the mountaintop than always stand aside.
Oh, let me hold some lofty dream and make my desperate fight,
And though I fail I still shall know I tried to serve the right."- Edgar Albert Guest, poet

It is better to be a failure than to be the person who has never 
tried anything in his or her life.
It is better to be called a failure than to be the person
who 'always stand aside.'
If you want to make it in life, you must keep your dreams.
You must fight your fight. 
You must believe that you can achieve your dreams.
Without self-belief, they won't happen.
And you must try 'to serve the right.'

Be Brave

Be a source of love

“We must first have the desire and then the intention and commitment to be a source of love- this means that rather than waiting for the world to be more loving, we decide that we will be the first one to reach out and act loving- on matter what!”- Richard Carlson

Seek out the comfort and help you need

“Healing from a loss is a natural process of life- just as healing from a broken bone is too. Knowing this in the midst of pain is of great comfort. If it’s at all possible, don’t be alone. Seek out the comfort and help you need and deserve. This is not the time to be brave or strong. Instead it’s the time to reach out to others and be open to receive their kindness.”
